On a 2020 MacBook Pro with latest Ventura and latest Infuse for Mac, playing movie files off my router-connected hard drive results in stuttering playback. Not buffering but every few seconds a tiny freeze in the video (not the sound).
This happens with all videos - even very small files. My local network is plenty fast enough.
When I open the same files in the Finder over the network using VLC, they play fine with no stuttering.
This is a file that was stuttering in Infuse but doesn’t when opened from the same location using VLC. This behaviour is quite recent by the way - maybe introduced with the last couple of updates of Infuse?
No, and it doesn’t happen when loading the same files in Infuse on Apple TV. That’s connected by ethernet to the router but my Mac is on wifi - but as I say, no problems when wirelessly streaming the files into VLC.
UPDATE: this only happens when Infuse is in its floating app window - it stops when I make the app full screen. Then returns when I come out of full screen.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? It’s still happening.
